Lets be honest, the only reason Christina Aguilera's voice is considered 'UNIQUE' is because she is white. She did an awesome job last night, but next to Yolanda Adams and Jennifer Hudson she sounded like a regular ol' church singer.

And when it comes to the Beyonce v. Christina vocal thing, Beyonce wins hands down.. Christina's voice is stronger but strong doesnt equal better. She has no ring to her sound. She sings from the throat, which doesn't produce resonance at all. Seeing as how resonance is achieved through proper vocal placement, Bee has that over Christina, thus more resonance.

Christina yells and thins like hell above C5, can't apply vibrato from that point, her tone is very﻿ squeezed, she can't even SING those notes. Bee's sound is rounder, more forward, more in pitch, carries far better. Beyonce has a WAY better technique and her notes are full﻿ and lush and rarely strained.I Iike Xtina's tone better than Beyonce's, but it takes more than tone to be better than someone.

Lady Gaga's performance was Blah. But BTW is growing on me.

Rihanna as usual sounded like a yodeling train-wreck during the LTWYL performance. She looked pretty though. The 'What's My NAme' performance was your average P-poppin performance, nothing special at all. But her body is beautiful. Eminem and Dr. Dre did great.

I liked the energy that Mick Jagger bought. He was great

Janelle Monae, Bruno Mars, & B.O.B was my favorite performance of the night along with Ceelo Green & Gweneth Paltrow. Everyone else was Blah.

I was happy that Espironza Spalding won Best New Artist. She is so underrated and talented. I am even happier Justin Beiber nor Drake won.

And how did Bad Romance win Best Pop Vocals over Halo (live)?
